Abstract
A method, a locking device and a set of panels, including a panel and an adjacent panel, wherein the panel includes a groove and at least one hole connected to the groove via an opening, the adjacent panel includes a first edge that is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel, and the panel includes a locking device configured to lock the first edge of the adjacent panel in the groove of the panel, wherein the locking device includes a cylinder and a lever connected to the cylinder, the cylinder is configured to be arranged in the hole in the panel, the cylinder is an eccentric cylinder including a top and bottom base and a locking surface connecting the top and bottom base, the cylinder is configured to act as a cam when the cylinder is turned about an axis in the hole.
Claims25
A set of panels comprising a panel and an adjacent panel, wherein
- the panel comprises a groove and at least one hole connected to the groove via an opening,
- the adjacent panel comprises a first edge that is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel, and
- the panel comprises a locking device configured to lock the first edge of the adjacent panel in the groove of the panel, wherein
- the locking device comprises a cylinder and a lever connected to the cylinder,
- the cylinder is configured to be arranged in the hole in the panel,
- the cylinder is an eccentric cylinder comprising a top and bottom base and a locking surface connecting the top and bottom base, the cylinder being eccentric along an entire length of the cylinder from the top base to the bottom base,
- the cylinder is configured to act as a cam when the cylinder is turned about an axis in the hole, and
- the lever is configured to, when turned, turn the cylinder about the axis between a mounting position and a locking position, wherein
- in the mounting position, the first edge of the adjacent panel is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel, and
- in the locking position, a part of the locking surface of the locking device extends into the groove through the opening and locks the adjacent panel in the groove.
A set of panels comprising a panel and an adjacent panel, wherein
- the panel comprises a groove and at least one hole connected to the groove via an opening,
- the adjacent panel comprises a first edge that is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel, and
- the panel comprises a locking device configured to lock the first edge of the adjacent panel in the groove of the panel, wherein
- the locking device comprises a cylinder and a lever connected to the cylinder,
- the cylinder is configured to be arranged in the hole in the panel,
- the cylinder is an eccentric cylinder comprising a top and bottom base and a locking surface connecting the top and bottom base,
- the cylinder is configured to act as a cam when the cylinder is turned about an axis in the hole,
- the lever is configured to, when turned, turn the cylinder about the axis between a mounting position and a locking position, wherein
- in the mounting position, the first edge of the adjacent panel is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel, and
- in the locking position, a part of the locking surface of the locking device extends into the groove through the opening and locks the adjacent panel in the groove, and
- wherein the lever is connected to the cylinder at an inner end and at an outer end comprises a lock pin that, in the locking position, is configured to be arranged in the groove at a distance from the hole to lock the lever from turning from the locking position towards the mounting position.
A locking device configured to lock a first edge of an adjacent panel in a groove of a panel, the panel comprising at least one hole connected to the groove via an opening, wherein:
- the locking device comprises a cylinder and a lever connected to the cylinder,
- the cylinder is configured to be arranged in the hole in the panel,
- the cylinder is an eccentric cylinder comprising a top and bottom base and a locking surface connecting the top and bottom base, the cylinder being eccentric along an entire length of the cylinder from the top base to the bottom base,
- the cylinder is configured to act as a cam when the cylinder is turned about an axis in the hole,
- the lever is configured to, when turned, turn the cylinder about the axis between a mounting position and a locking position,
- in the mounting position, the first edge of the adjacent panel is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel, and
- in the locking position, a part of the locking surface of the locking device extends into the groove through the opening and locks the adjacent panel in the groove.
